Superior acrostic (not my fave form), Dean with added bonus of rhyme and some top flow.
Indeed - though many only want to read about pretty flowers, rosy-cheeked babies and 100 year-long loving and faithful marriages (I do too sometimes), I prefer more variety and often horror IS reality in a way. Fear sure is.
We need ALL our senses, and not just the pretty ones, to be able to compare and judge reality better.
Excellent!
Best wishes, Ted

Thank you Ted, you are very wise. Why are people so afraid to admit that evil exists by ignoring it? It's as ludicrous saying love doesn't exist, or hope---generosity. To ignore it is dangerous. Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies even closer. I embrace all realms, light and dark. It's simply cooler in the shadows.

Thanks for your welcome and 'wise' reply, Dean.
I don't have many friends, and my enemies mostly stay invisible.
Hey, maybe I DON'T EXIST. Now, that's scary. :-)
Cheers, Ted

Comment from Jim Lorson Sr
Dean, this is a great acrostic poetry contest entry. I like how you field the questions of why and then give them the answer that nips at their need of fear. The only horror movies that I watched were the "Halloween" series. The other movies scare some people into therapy and the fear of the dark.
Great piece of writing dean. You are the master of horror writing. Also, I wish you good luck in this contest.
Take care my friend,,,,,,,Jim

Thank you, Jim, I really appreciate your kind comments. You hit the nail on the head as far as my reasons for writing this. So many believe that just because you write dark, then you must be dark. That could not be further from the truth.
Again, I'm very grateful for your review of this.

A very scary acrostic poem with a macabre twist. I think this should win for originality alone. Good visual effects used to enhance your work. Don

Nothing wrong with venturing on the dark side. If I had a nickel for every time I was told the same thing - write light or your stuff is too dark- I'd be a rich man. Maybe it's time to start collecting those nickels. Well-put acrostic.

Comment from Ted T
Hi :)
Great piece, well written.
Loved the notes.
My extra words are there to please the system.
Forgive me if I don't go into detail about the structure and format of your work.
It's not for me to say.
I don't presume to judge a poets style, the words and work are from the heart and should be left alone.
If I didn't like what you wrote, I wouldn't respond to it.
That's good enough for me and other writers will share the same comments.
Good job,
Ted

Thanks, Maureen. The fact that you thought was was creepy and chilling delights me more than I could express in mere words. It means I've done "it" right!
Thanks so much again.

Comment from country ranch writer
ONLY FOR MY FAVORITE FRIENDS DO I WRITE THIS LITTLE DITTY:
HORROR- COMES FROM WITHIN SCREAMING TO GET OUT
ONLY AN ILLUSION PLACED IN YOU HEAD
RAPE, MAYHEM, EVIL, IS THEIR STYLE
REALITY HAS LOST ITS LUSTER
ONLY DRIPPING BLOOD COMES OUT OF THEIR PENS ONTO PAPER
REMEMBER STEPHEN KIND AND DEAN KUCH
WRITERS RUN OUT OF THE ROOM WHEN THEY APPROACH
RACING HEARTS THEY GIVE US
INSIDE THE REVEL IN EVIL THOUGHTS
TERRIFYING THEIR AUDIENCES
EVIL LURKS WITH IN THEIR HEARTS
READ THEIR STORIES AT YOUR OWN RISK DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU!

Comment from manicblue
I've often wondered why my thoughts tend toward the dark. This explains it! Please continue to darken our steps with the macabre. After all, we can't know light without the dark.
